I know, I know. The ever-ubiquitous Merry Christmas posts—they're everywhere. And as I say most of the time about these kinds of posts, I'd be remiss not to contribute my own obligatory one. After all, we spend a lot of time together around here, so we almost become like family, sharing our joys and tribulations, our complaints and our thanks, our embarrassing moments and successes, and if you are like me...
Our unadulterated opinions, welcome or not.
I wish you and your families the best Christmas and holiday season that can be, even if you are in a place where you don't celebrate it. Our Christmas gathering won't be until the 28th as that's when we can all get together. Planning on making Parmesan garlic bacon cheeseburger lasagna for our Christmas dinner when the fam gets together.
Tonight I will just make a batch of spaghetti as we won't be doing anything special today.
Merry Christmas, y'all!

Parmesan garlic bacon cheeseburger lasagna? What in the world did your family ever do to you to get on your naughty list? That sounds positively vile. I honestly would rather sample the 4th of July slop casserole first. 
In all seriousness--Merry Christmas. I hope you and Dawn have a wonderful day both today and when you get together with family.

Are you kidding me? This is going to be a "to die for" lasagna. Have a gander at this. And Merry Christmas to you and your family and cats as well.

I have to admit, even though mine looked nothing like the picture, it turned out absolutely delicious and way better than I even expected. It went over extremely well, and I was very happy about that. It always makes me nervous to try something new with guests involved, but this turned out to be an unwarranted nervousness. Merry Christmas to you as well, however belated it is to say it now.

Merry Christmas to you, too. Yes, we are like family: we get along quite well with some, and some, not so much. Not sure what I'm having for dinner tonight. I haven't even had second breakfast yet and it's closing in on lunchtime.

I hope you’ll share a pic of that lasagna. Sounds interesting to me. I’d try it.
This year Christmas and Hanukkah fall on the same day. 
I’ve seen people say Happy Chrismukkah. Or maybe it was Merry Chrismukkah.
Merry Christmas! Hope the holidays are great again now that Biden will no longer be our president.

@porwest I wonder if we will hear much about him or from him once he leaves office.

@lovebuglena I honestly think he's going to mostly fall under the radar, especially considering his age and the fact that politically, he's really not been someone to have much positive influence on the party—so, I think he's pretty much done. Obama will continue to be the "face" of the party for whatever that's worth.

I shared the recipe with Chicaa in comment thread because she said it sounded vile. After she saw the recipe she said it looked disgusting. I think she is insane. lol
Merry Christmas to you as well, and yes, it was the greatest gift of all. No more Biden. His departure cannot come soon enough.

It was a great time with games, fun, booze and food. What else could one ask for? Besides, we get to ring in the New Year with newfound hope that the country can get itself out of the crapper. Onward and upward and Merry Christmas to you and your family as well, however slightly belated the merry wishes may be.

The lasagna sounds pretty good, but would probably do the jalapeno version. Spaghetti on Christmas..different. You must love Italian food. Not my favorite, I like a little spice in my mouth. We are making a corn casserole and taking it to the AmVets today. Hoping this next week brings us a belated Christmas present of a place to live.
Wishing you a Merry Christmas with your loved ones on the 28th.

For us, the actual Christmas day was just another day since our family get together won't be until the 28th. Even lasagna can be a bit of an odd Christmas dinner choice, but we change it up a bit—we used to traditionally do lobster tails.
As for spicy and hot, no thanks for me. Too much heat ruins the taste of the food and what you wind up tasting is just the heat and not the food under it. Hope you find the new place soon and it all works out for you, and Merry Christmas.

Merry Christmas! We decided on spaghetti for this afternoon, too.
